Life inside : the hard reality of prison and what it takes to survive
Calvey, Linda2024
Books
Widely known in the criminal underworld as the 'Black Widow', Linda Calvey spent the first half of her life running with the UK's top gangsters, robbing banks and even rubbing shoulders with the Kray twins. That is, until, in 1990, Linda was sent away for decades. She would go on to become one of Britain's longest-serving female prisoners. This is her story of life inside, and how she learnt to survive the many years she spent behind bars. Detailing the systems, characters and rules of prison life, as well as her encounters with notorious criminals Charles Bronson, Myra Hindley and Rose West, Linda gives a full account of her time locked up. Featuring stories of fights, dodgy dealings and what happens when a screw gets taken hostage, this is a gritty and eye-opening look at prison life from a woman who has seen it all.
